Application ID:

3-5518-00426/00030

Permit(s) Applied for:

Article 19 Air Title V Facility

Project is Located:

Yonkers, Westchester County

Project Description:

The Excelsior Packaging Group (Excelsior) operates a printing operation in Yonkers, NY. The facility currently operates three flexographic presses with ancillary operations consisting of polymer film bag machines, slitters, ink mixing, and natural gas-fire heaters to supply building heat. The print room and printing presses are ducted to one of two oxidizers for VOC destruction. The Anguil Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer will be the primary control for VOC destruction. The Dec-E-Tech Catalytic Oxidizer will serve as emergency backup to only two of the three presses. When the Dec-E-Tech is in use as the primary control device, only two presses will operate. One press will not operate so as not to exceed the capacity of the Dec-E-Tech. For both oxidizers, the VOC capture and control equipment provides for an overall removal efficiency exceeding 90 percent. The 90 percent or greater removal efficiency exceeds the 6 NYCRR part 234 RACT standard for flexographic printing. Operation of the two natural gas-fired oxidizers may be eligible for the Part 234 seasonal variance allowing for shutdown during the non-ozone season.

In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.7(b)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of the United States Environmental protection Agency (USEPA) has the authority to bar issuance of any Title V Facility Permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201.
